What's Dad getting for Father's Day??
Re: What's Dad getting for Father's Day??
I'm giving my dad a framed print I did of the house I grew up in in Kennebunk Port. I took it with one of my old film cameras (from the 1920s), so it looks super old.
I think I'm buying Alan a hose reel he'd been longing for.
I just mailed my dad a box full of Coastal Maine popcorn.
I have no idea what Helen is giving her dad besides a cute photo card. I keep asking him what he wants and he has no suggestions.
A gift from the fur child?
If we didn't have DD, Scott wouldn't be getting any presents from me.
I am taking my dad out to dinner. DH dad is getting a Bull Moose gift certificate (he still listens to CDs).
DH is getting a Craftsman toolchest from Peanut (I guess Jameson is generous, even in utero).
So excited to meet Peanut this fall!

I'm getting cards for my dad and grampy, and we'll all do something as a family that day, because they are both so low key that they never want any gifts!
Is there anything Tim has mentioned wanting? A la the cell phone commercial where the guy buys himself a new phone and says he'll sign his daughter's name on the card?
We are spending the day together. He is running the 5k at the Sea Dog stadium then we are going to 188.
You can't buy much that would beat a day like that.
My dad's 60th is the week after Father's Day and we are getting him a smoker for that, so I think I'll get him some fun accessories to go along with it - we'll be seeing him next weekend, so he'll receive everything at once.
DH doesn't know what to get his father yet...
When we were in NY, we used to take them out for a joint dinner and always had so much fun...same with the moms. I miss that!
Since DH has been out to sea for both Mother's and Father's Day this year (and we're not technically parents yet), we didn't really do anything for it. But since our anniversary was yesterday, I put together a "Daddy Survival" kit of sorts for him in a kick @ss diaper bag with a copy of The Incredibles (the man loves animated movies for some reason), a copy of "The Caveman's Guide to Baby's First Year", an incredibly cute onesie from Gap that says "I love Daddy" with a illustration of two nuzzling rhinos and a leather beer holster that attaches to your hip since leather is the traditional 3rd anniversary gift, and that way he can snuggle baby in a carrier and still have a place for his beer.
For my dad, I'm going to wait until we get up to Maine and then give him a ton of delicious steaks and meat cuts from the Commissary down here, as well as half a case of local wine he likes.

Every year DH asks to sleep in and not get up with the boys and to have a fun family day... but we are at camp, and live in a one room cabin... so when the boys get up, he has to get up, there is no getting around it... and he always schedules meetings for that day so we don't get to do anything...
but I will try to get up and out with the boys quickly and quietly before he gets up and let them romp around in the morning dew then we will go to breakfast somewhere...
I am not sure what to get him for a "gift" since he never asks for anything and our anniversary is in 2 weeks so I am still trying to come up with something good (any ideas girls... fruit and flowers are the traditional and we usually try to follow those guidelines)
I just spit out my water!
Our anniversary is tomorrow. I was hoping the fourth was "wood" (no reference to the above) but it's books, flowers and fruit. How broing is that. Anywho, I'm giving this (made from driftwood and painted by me) to him tomorrow and will probably make something from Abby.
